Yet Another Earthquake in Yorba Linda (Magnitude 4.1)- 8/29/12

Courtesy of USGS

Yesterday, there was another earthquake in Yorba Linda, CA. It was a magnitude 4.1 earthquake (Intensity V) and had a depth of 5.7 miles (slightly deeper than the earthquakes preceding it). Because of its slightly lower magnitude and depth, it was not felt as widely or as strongly as the earthquakes preceding it. Nevertheless, it was the third earthquake greater than magnitude 4 that occurred in the area recently.

If you felt the earthquake, please go to: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ci15207433#dyfi_form
